Unnerving Quiet


It was quiet.

Too quiet.

It was unnerving.

Unnerving quiet tends to be... dangerous.

First it was a missing package of oreos.

Then scissors were taken to a siblings art project.

Suddenly a whole package of gum from my purse was gone, the only evidence of its existence were the empty wrappers that littered the floor.

Crayon art magically appeared all over the kitchen table and benches.

The freezer was beeping from being left open too long.

Wait, what's that?

Spitting?

Yes, lots of spitting.


Sure enough.

Apparently she just wanted to chew on it, perhaps sample a bit, then spit it back out.


Oh dear.

Perhaps she's getting a tooth?

I'm back!! From "our" cabin vacation!! ;)
I love that picture of Claira with the blue marker in her mouth!! It reminded me of my brother. When he was young, my brother decided to give himself a "tattoo".... Green marker was scribbled all over his little body--diaper, mouth and all!!--thanks for reliving this memory for me!! ;-D
